The tone is serious, but plenty of the actors, especially Smith, keep it from seeming overly emotional or hokey.

Resurrection shouldn't need to pad out episodes with implications of buried affairs and a possible murder. That they're likely not going to be is disappointing, but not surprising in the tradition of network television trying to take on ambitious ideas.

Resurrection has proved able to return both people and network to life.
March 28, 2019
It's a sentimental show to be sure, but it's almost refreshingly straightforward in its sentimentality and there's something heartbreaking in the performances of Kurtwood Smith and Frances Fisher.

Resurrection is similar in premise to Sundance Channel's The Returned. The ABC show is more blandly cast and written, but it's still capable on occasion of hitting you in the gut emotionally, if not scrambling your brains.

Give ABC credit for at least realizing that there is a spiritual element inherent to the notion of the dead returning to life and taking up that idea in the face of zombie mania.

Part sappy drama, part supernatural whodunnit, Resurrection suffers greatly from following on the heels of Sundance's airing of the far superior French series The Returned, which bore an almost identical plot.
March 28, 2019
An emotionally engrossing, but also macabre, morbid, and mercilessly mockable meditation on faith, religion, and miracles mixed with procedural mystery.
March 06, 2014
It's sometimes gripping, the acting is good, and for many it will seem fresh. Well, as fresh as the undead can possibly be.

Yes, this is all very familiar -- Sundance's The Returned was better, by the way -- but there are still solid hints of an engaging series.
